Cell/Molecular Biology
This is what recognizes molecules called antigens, on pathogens.
What is an antibody?
Blood returning to the Mammalian Heart in a pulmonary vein drains first into this chamber.
What is the Left Atrium?
This process of gene expression involves the removal of introns from pre-mRNA and the joining of exons to form mature mRNA.
What is RNA Splicing?
This type of plant is known as a "flowering plant" and bears fruits.
What is an angiosperm?
The interaction between two or more species where species depend on each other in order to survive.
What is mutualism?
This condition occurs when an imbalance in the light reactions and the Calvin cycle leads to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress in chloroplasts, often caused by excessive light exposure or compromised carbon fixation.
What is Photoinhibition?
This is the Body Tissue that consists largely of material located outside of cells.
What is Conective Tissue?
The elongation of the leading strand during DNA synthesis depends on this enzyme.
What is DNA Polymerase?
This tissue transports sugars and foods from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
What is the phloem?
Type of carnivore that eats other carnivores.
This signaling pathway involves the binding of a ligand to a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), leading to the activation of adenylate cyclase, which then converts ATP into cyclic AMP (cAMP), a secondary messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA).
What is the cAMP signaling pathway?
This muscle type is responsible for voluntary movements in the human body.
What is Skeletal Muscle?
This is a human cell containing 22 autosomes and a Y chromosome.
What is a sperm?
Force that leads fluids upward into root xylem.
What is root pressure?
The differences in the appearances of females and males, such as size, color, and structure, not necessarily caused by genetics.
What is sexual dimorphism?
This signaling pathway involves the activation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) on the cell surface, which then initiates a cascade of phosphorylation events inside the cell, ultimately leading to cellular responses such as growth and division.
What is the ERK Pathway?
This part of the nervous system is primarily responsible for controlling involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
This genetic phenomenon involves the interaction between multiple genes, where the effect of one gene is modified by one or several other genes, leading to a wide range of phenotypic outcomes.
What is Epistasis?
Growth, facilitated by lateral meristems, that thickens the stems and roots of a plant.
What is secondary growth?
The use of microbes to degrade contaminants in soil and water.
What is bioremediation?
This process refers to the production and maturation of blood cells, including both red and white blood cells, originating from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
What is hematopoiesis?
This disease is caused by a deficiency in the neurotransmitter dopamine, leading to symptoms like tremors and difficulty with movement.
What is Parkinson's Disease?
This autosomal recessive genetic disorder is caused by a mutation in the CFTR gene, leading to the production of thick mucus that affects the lungs and digestive system.
What is cystic fibrosis?
The process by which the apical bud of a main shoot prevents the growth of lateral buds through auxin production.
What is apical dominance?
